New MINI owner in VA

Hey all... Just bought a new MINI (2011 MINI Cooper S hatchback, Red w/ White, black leatherette interior).

Love the car so far. Thought I'd say hi, and open with some questions:

1) Is there a photo thread here? I want to add some boot and bonnet stripes, but not sure of the design. I've installed the chrome intake, so really don't like the convergent bonnet stripes with that... too cluttered.

2) While the car is new and under warrantie(s), I will have the dealer do all work. I am considering the JCW tuning kit, but I've heard it's not really all that... what mods are gonna give me the best performance bang for the buck, and hold up to daily driving over years of use?


So... Hi!

Raelf
